Talamanca Reserve, Protected natural area in San Gerardo de Rivas, Costa Rica
The Talamanca Reserve extends across 1600 hectares of cloud forest at an elevation of 4,921 feet, supporting diverse plant and animal communities.
The reserve forms part of the larger Talamanca Range-La Amistad Reserves system, established to protect the natural resources of both Costa Rica and Panama.
Local indigenous communities maintain connections to the land through sustainable practices and traditional knowledge passed down through generations within the Talamanca mountain range.
Visitors need advance reservations to access the reserve's network of trails, with guided tours available from the information center between 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The reserve's year-round growing season creates dense forest layers where temperatures remain constant, dropping to 65°F at night and reaching 75°F during daytime.
